Hitachi ZX210LC-5 | 2019 | 5,500 Hours | One Owner
At Rich Reach, we are excited to present a rare find in the used excavator market: a Hitachi ZX210LC‑5 with only 5,500 original hours and a single owner since new. This machine has never been used in heavy rock or mining – only light construction and municipal projects. If you are looking for a late‑model, low‑hour, well‑maintained 21‑ton excavator, this is it.
Machine Overview
Brand: Hitachi
Model: ZX210LC-5 (Long Carriage – extra stability)
Year of Manufacture: 2019
Operating Hours: 5,500 hours (verified original hour meter, service records)
Serial Number: HCM1Z200xxxx (available on request)
Ownership History: One owner since new – a municipal utility company in Japan. Imported to China in 2024 with full documentation.
Why This Machine Stands Out
Most used excavators in the 5,000‑6,000 hour range are either ex‑rental fleet (abused) or ex‑mining (high wear). This ZX210LC‑5 is neither. It was operated by a single, diligent owner who followed the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule strictly. Below we detail the key reasons to choose this unit.
✅ Exceptionally Low Hours for a 2019 Model
5,500 hours over 6 years averages only 917 hours per year – significantly less than the typical 1,500‑2,000 annual hours for commercial use. Low hours mean less wear on the engine, hydraulic pump, pins, bushings, and undercarriage.
✅ Single Owner – Full Service History Available
We have obtained the complete service log from the original owner in Japan (translated into English). Highlights:
• Engine oil and filter changed every 250 hours (Hitachi genuine 15W-40)
• Hydraulic oil changed at 3,000 hours (Hitachi genuine fluid)
• Swing and travel gear oil changed every 1,500 hours
• All greasing intervals recorded – every 10 operating hours without fail
• No major component replacements – all original except wear parts (filters, belts, etc.)
✅ Clean, Original Undercarriage – 65% Remaining Life
Because the machine worked mainly on asphalt and compacted dirt (road construction), the undercarriage has light wear:
• Track chains: 65% remaining (minimal stretch)
• Sprockets: 60% remaining (teeth slightly worn but no hooking)
• Track rollers: 70% remaining (no flat spots)
• Carrier rollers: 75% remaining
• Front idlers: 65% remaining – no scoring
• Track shoes (600mm double grouser): 70% remaining
You will not face undercarriage costs for at least 2,500‑3,000 hours – a major saving.
✅ Excellent Mechanical Condition – Verified by CCIC Inspection
We commissioned a full CCIC pre‑shipment inspection in March 2026. Results:
Engine (Isuzu GH-4HK1X):
• Cold start: immediate, no smoke
• Hot idle: smooth, no unusual vibrations
• No oil or coolant leaks
• Turbocharger: no play, quiet operation
• Compression test: all cylinders within 4% of each other – very healthy
Hydraulic System:
• Main pump (Hitachi HPV210): pressure 34.5 MPa – within spec
• Pilot pressure: 3.8 MPa – stable
• All cylinders: no drift when fully extended – seals excellent
• Hydraulic oil sample analysis: ISO cleanliness code 18/15/12 – very clean (new oil change scheduled at 6,000 hours)
Swing & Travel:
• Swing bearing clearance measured at 2.2mm vertical – well within Hitachi tolerance (max 4.5mm)
• Swing motor smooth, no jerking
• Travel motors equal speed, no pulling to one side
Structure:
• Boom, arm, and main frame: no cracks, no weld repairs
• Bucket linkage pins: minimal wear (12% measured slop – excellent)
• Counterweight: original, no impact damage
✅ Cab – Like New Condition
The original owner took pride in cleanliness. The cab interior is remarkably clean:
• Seat upholstery: no tears, no stains – like 2‑year‑old machine
• Air conditioning: blows cold (tested 12°C at vents)
• Heater: works
• Radio: functional, original Hitachi unit
• Monitor LCD: no dead pixels, all functions readable
• Floor mat: clean, no holes
• Windows: all original, no cracks, clear visibility
• Joysticks and levers: no excessive play, all return to neutral
Specifications Summary
• Operating weight: ~21,500 kg (with long carriage)
• Engine: Isuzu GH-4HK1X (rebuilt? no, original, well maintained)
• Engine power: 122 kW (164 HP) at 2,000 rpm
• Bucket capacity: 0.8‑1.2 m³ (1.0 m³ general purpose bucket included)
• Max digging depth: 6.7 m
• Max reach at ground level: 9.9 m
• Swing speed: 11.6 rpm
• Travel speed: 3.3 / 5.3 km/h (low/high)
• Long carriage benefits: longer track frame (2,800 mm track length) for superior stability on slopes and heavy digging.
Maintenance Records Summary
| Service | Last Performed (hours) | Next Due |
|---|---|---|
| Engine oil + filter | 5,250 hrs | 5,500 hrs (now) |
| Hydraulic filter | 5,000 hrs | 5,500 hrs (now) |

Cosmetic Condition
• Paint: Original Hitachi orange with some fading on the hood. No peeling, no major scratches. Very presentable.
• Decals: All original “Hitachi” and “ZX210LC-5” decals present and readable.
• Rust: None – machine was stored indoors in Japan and China.
• Bucket: Original 1.0m³ bucket with teeth. Teeth are 50% worn – usable immediately.
Why Choose This Hitachi ZX210LC-5 Over Other Used 21‑Ton Excavators?
✅ Low hours, single owner – Rare combination. Most 2019 machines have 8,000‑10,000 hours and multiple owners.
✅ Hitachi reliability – Known for strong hydraulics, fuel efficiency, and long component life.
✅ Long carriage (LC) – Extra stability for deep digging, lifting, and working on slopes – a premium feature.
✅ Very good undercarriage remaining – You avoid the typical $5,000‑7,000 undercarriage replacement that many used machines need.
✅ Full service history – No guessing about past maintenance.
✅ Excellent price vs. new – A new Hitachi ZX210LC‑6 is USD 200,000+. This 2019 unit is priced at USD 58,000 (FOB China) – a 70%+ saving.
